The IHBC is continuing its exploration of forward planning priorities and future governance for members in a new and more detailed survey of issues arising from our March survey, with contributions, which can take only a few minutes, invited before the closing date of 31 July.
Trefor Thorpe, IHBC President, said: ‘Our latest member survey raises lots of issues, but still may take no more than 10 minutes of your time, possibly even as little as 5 if you have thought about these issues before, though it may be worth spending longer as there’s lots of food for thought there.’
‘I know these things can seem to be a bit of a pain, but it’s the most effective method we have of getting your invaluable opinion on what issues and priorities you have as members of the principal institute for conservation specialists.’
‘And the results will build on our earlier survey last March, to which so many of you responded brilliantly. Doing this one will help us help you by shaping the future plans and structures of your institute to meet future needs and challenges. We’ll report back in August, but more importantly, the results will feed directly into our future structures and our next corporate plan.’
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘We’re taking a different approach in this survey, as we felt the need to give more detail on issues, and be more specific on possible directions for the future. But even if you only want to indicate the most general concerns though your comments, any contributions are welcome.
Of course much will depend on capacity and opportunities, but guidance from practitioners and members here will make all the difference when your Council and trustees have to make hard decisions about what we can and cannot do. And if you really want to explore the issues and get involved, there’s no better way to start than by reading our current corporate plan, which covers 2010-15’.
Survey closes on 31 July.
